"CreekPro" or "Allround" rods if you prefer catfish / carp. (The Elemental being 6lb and Aurora being 8lb Such as the Elemental 8'6" or aurora 7'6" / 8'2" "Aurora" or "Elemental" rods if you prefer casting lures. 8lb just happens to be the secret sauce for the rest of the starter lakes while still not being super overkill for lonestar bass.Īs far as gear recommendations goes, you can't go wrong with the: I've played 2 separate accounts to level 40 now and if I could do it all over again I'd use the starting pan fish setup until you can buy some 8lb gear to get the most money and fun out of the first 3 or 4 lakes.Īnything under 6lb will be exclusively useful for only lonestar and you'll just end up replacing it or worse yet bankrupting your account.Ĥlb is the magic sauce for lonestar but the fish will still max out 6lb reels and line.
8lb still gives full xp for Lonestar bass/Buffalo as well as being flawless for Rocky and falcon lake trout and even emerald lake walleye and sauger.

This is just a suggestion, hope it helps. feeder fishing)), also take note of the lure weight (spinning & casting rods) or casting weight (feeder, bottom, carp and spod rods), if you get a message saying the setup is too heavy do not use as something might break (normally the rod). When setting up an outfit try to make sure it's balanced : Rod (strongest) (line weight) => Reel (max drag) => Line (test) => Leader (weakest) (test) if a leader is required i.e. If your line keeps breaking then your drag is set too high. Make sure you start with a low drag setting. Make sure you're fishing during peak times (check the weather forecast) for a better chance, I caught mine around lunchtime.
Try fishing with the house behind you and casting as near to the middle (of the pond) as you can. Set the float depth to maximum and use a #2 hook, try using baits like dough, bread or semolina (corn is good but not available until level 34). You will need to use a Telescopic or Match rod (float setup), a level 19 EspiraMLR3000 reel and (level 19) Nero rod should be sufficient for the task (any of the Fenix match rods probably even better).
